We-Ko-Pa Golf Club

The tournament will once again be held at Fort McDowell Yavapai Nationâ€™s We-Ko-Pa Golf Club with breathtaking views of the Four Peaks and a true desert golf experience. Spend a day testing your handicap on a lush, award-winning Sonoran Desert course while enjoying great weather, wonderful food and company, networking, awards and tee gifts for all.

From the We-Ko-Pa website:

“Unlike other Arizona golf courses, there are no homes, condos or townhomes lining these fairways. At We-Ko-Pa, the Sonoran Desert is your neighbor and the term â€śhigh-riseâ€ť is either used to describe the ancient saguaros in the foreground or the magnificent mountains in the distance. In fact, the views are so spectacular at We-Ko-Pa that the sound, strategic playing value of the holes could possibly get overlooked. The variety in the routing and pacing of holes will keep all levels of golfers entertained from opening tee shot to final tap-in. Both courses, Cholla and Saguaro, feature an ideal blend of doglegs and straightaway holes, a mix of slender and ample fairways, a balance between benign and rugged green complexes. Yet without exception, both courses offer a host of shot-making options and plenty of grassy bail-out areas when the occasional shot gets away.”
